ELECTROGALVANIZED STEEL SHEET
"JFE is committing to environment and human life."

This is our motto.
Our galvanized steel sheet products
have been developed to meet the strict
requirements of demanding customers.
Our goal is to help people and
contribute to society by manufacturing
these and other products which provide
high quality and performance.
Steel sheets are used in a remarkably wide range of applications in

everyday life. The growth of coated steel sheets has been especially
astonishing in fields where improved product durability and cost
reduction by process omission are strongly required.
Today, coated steel sheets are widely used as corrosion-resistant steel
sheets with excellent economy, mainly in fields such as automobiles,
electrical appliances, and OA equipment.
JFE Steel Corporation has devoted great effort to the development and
production of various types of coated steel sheets, taking advantage
of the company's state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and
technologies accumulated over many years.
JFE's electrogalvanized steel sheets have responded to market needs
that are constantly changing and increasingly diverse and sophisticated
with extensive chemical conversion-treated products suited to their
attractive appearance. In particular, JFE has earned the firm confidence
of customers in Japan and other countries by early commercialization
of the "Eco Frontier Series" of chromate-free products, which
responds to customers' needs for environment-friendly products.
In the future, we appreciate customers' understanding of the
outstanding properties of JFE products and we look forward to
serving you with the best possible product for every application.
JFE Steel propelling in to the future.

production results.
Notes: a) Coating weight designations and minimum coating weights for
coatings over E40 are decided through consultation between
JFE and the customer.

b) The coating weight designation ES means the steel surface of
one-side coated products.

c) Coating weight is 50 mg/m2 or less except at the edges (edges
in widthwise direction).
Dimension tolerance
JIS G 3313 (2010), Appendix JA, Table JA.2 is applied to the dimensional tolerances of hot rolled steel.

Instruction for Ordering
Handling Precautions
When ordering, please include the following information:
Instruction for ordering / Packaging and labeling
Classification of standard / Dimension / Quantity / Delivery date
Surface treatment / Coating weight
Application or parts name
Type of processing (In case of press forming, please show the part shape in detail.)
Unit mass and packaging

Coils : Maximum and minimum coil mass / Maximum coil outer diameter /

Coil inner diameter / Acceptability of welded portion in coil
Sheets : Maximum lot mass
Others requirements (Surface finish, edge form, strip shape, oiling, etc.)
Storage
When receiving products, check for moisture in
the package. Dry immediately if wet.
Use adequate care to prevent moisture in
spaces between sheets, coiled strips, and work
pieces.
Storage areas should be as dry as possible.
Storage in damp conditions and/or with broken
packaging can result in discoloration or rusting.
Repair broken packaging if long-term storage
is required. Abrasion marks (black dents)
may occur due to pressure if transportation or
storage conditions are improper.
Handling
Steel sheet products have sharp edges. Handle
carefully using gloves to avoid injury.
Packaging and Labeling
Packaging
Scratches and oil stain due to improper

handling can result in paint defects.
Degreasing
Insufficient degreasing can cause paint
defects.
Degreasing by spraying or dipping in a neutral
or low alkaline agent is recommended. Strong
alkaline agents can damage the strip surface.
Adequate rinsing after degreasing is
recommended. If degreasing is inadequate,
water repulsion can be observed on the strip
after dipping in clean water. Use a degreasing
method which maintains smooth and uniform
water film.
Painting
Dirt or other foreign matter on the surface
will cause paint defects. Degrease/clean
adequately before painting.
JFE coated steel products are chemically
treated to improve paint adhesion. However,
certain paints may have poor adhesion
with certain zinc coatings. Prior testing is
recommended. Undercoating with a wash
primer will help ensure good results.
Handling precautions
In using electrogalvanized steel sheets, the

following precautions should be taken in
order to ensure optimum use:
Lubricated products have a low friction

coefficient and slide easily. Coils may collapse
(telescope, etc.) due to repeated uncoiling and
recoiling. Cut sheets in piles may slide due to
impact. Use care in handling and work around
storage areas.
Electrogalvanized products are packed

according to applicable standards
Processing
and preserved in a properly controlled
Some types of lubricating oil corrode zinc. Prior

environment until shipment.

Labeling
Labels showing the product standard,
dimensions, mass and product serial No.

brazing material is recommended.
